"The world's oldest pants are a 3,000-year-old engineering marvel." "The 3,000-year-old wool trousers belonged to a man buried between 1000 and 1200 BCE in Western China. To make them, ancient weavers combined four different techniques to create a garment specially engineered for fighting on horseback, with flexibility in some places and sturdiness in others."

Pluspora is still here, but don't count on it sticking around for another 3,000 years. Could disappear any moment now.
